[FEATURE] Configurable 'Open in' context menu for files (e.g. Typora, Obsidian, VS Code)
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened May 23, 2026 by mjskok-code Closed Jun 28, 2026
Feature Request
The file context menu in Claude Code currently has a fixed Open in → Finder option. There's no way to add other apps.
Requested behavior
Allow users to configure additional Open in targets via settings.json, e.g.:
{
"openWith": [
{ "label": "Typora", "app": "Typora" },
{ "label": "Obsidian", "app": "Obsidian" }
]
}
This would add them to the Open in → submenu alongside Finder.
Use case
Many Claude Code users work with Markdown files inside Obsidian vaults and edit them in Typora (or other external editors). Being able to right-click a .md file and choose Open in Typora or Open in Obsidian would remove a friction step (currently: Open in Finder → double-click).
Current workaround
Set the target app as the default opener for .md files in macOS, then Open in Finder → double-click. Works but costs an extra step.
